Turning one sermon into a full week of discipleship content is the problem MinistryHelper.ai was built to solve. Paste a YouTube link from Sunday's service and the platform generates 30 pieces of content \u2014 video clips, social posts, devotionals, small group guides, kids lessons, and more \u2014 all written in your pastor's voice and calibrated to your church's theology.^1
The platform splits into two suites. After Sunday extends the sermon's impact through the week: six video clips sized for Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts; twelve social media posts for pastor, staff, and volunteer accounts; a five-day devotional plan; small group discussion and deep study guides; a pastor's blog post; and two coaching reports \u2014 a Sermon Insights Report with mentor-like feedback and a Golden Moments Report highlighting the sermon's most resonant points. Before Sunday prepares the whole team before the message is even delivered: seventeen pieces including teaser emails, sermon prep notes, slide-deck speaker notes, volunteer huddle guides, and age-specific kids, pre-teen, and teen lessons synced to the upcoming sermon. The Abundance plan unlocks both suites in a single weekly workflow; individual modules like the Sermon Quiz, Follow-Up Social Scripts, and Video Clipper are also available \u00e0 la carte. Subscription pricing is by plan, with details on the pricing page, no contracts, and cancellation at any time.^2
MinistryHelper learns each pastor's unique voice, style, and theology by analyzing uploaded sermons \u2014 so the content it produces sounds like it came from the church, not a generic AI.^1 Two free, no-account tools let anyone sample the platform: Instant Sermon Quiz turns any sermon into a 10-question quiz shareable by text message,^7 and Instant Devo generates a Monday\u2013Friday devotional plan from a single sermon link, delivered by text and email.^10
Founded by JR Johnson \u2014 a serial technology entrepreneur and attorney whose earlier venture Trippy.com raised funding from Sequoia, True Ventures, and SV Angel \u2014 the team is based in the Los Angeles area and serves churches of any size and denomination, with sales and onboarding led by Cody Cook.^3^9
What Pastors Are SayingChris King, social media director at First Baptist Church of Kimberling City, Missouri, says his team can now keep Sunday's message in front of their people all week, and it still sounds like them.^1
Pastor Wayne Hale of New Castle Free Will Baptist Church in Delaware says the content lines up with his church's beliefs because it comes from his own sermons.^1
Dr. Jason Frazier of Braeswood Church in Houston, a former senior pastor and Army chaplain, says he expected the platform to cost far more than it does.^1
